link_libraries

link_libraries

Link libraries to all targets added later.

.. code-block:: cmake

link_libraries([item1 [item2 [...]]] [[debug|optimized|general] <item>] ...)

Specify libraries or flags to use when linking any targets created later in the current directory or below by commands such as :command:add_executable or :command:add_library. See the :command:target_link_libraries command for meaning of arguments.

.. note:: The :command:target_link_libraries command should be preferred whenever possible. Library dependencies are chained automatically, so directory-wide specification of link libraries is rarely needed.
